* Known Issues *
===================================================
* Changes introduced to NEPS:SC1 by version 5.0.0 *
===================================================
General:
- meta data for all variables have been revised and updated where appropriate
- additional wave 5 has been incorporated into the data
xTargetCompetencies:
- new published dataset containing data from competency tests from wave 4 and later
- methodical information on these competency tests have been integrated into the MethodsDirectMeasures dataset.
===================================================
* Changes introduced to NEPS:SC1 by version 4.0.0 *
===================================================
General:
- meta data for all variables have been revised and updated where appropriate
- additional wave 4 has been incorporated into the data
===================================================
* Changes introduced to NEPS:SC1 by version 3.0.0 *
===================================================
General:
- meta data for all variables have been revised and updated where appropriate
- additional wave 3 has been incorporated into the data
pParent:
- the concept of reflecting migrational background in NEPS SUFs has been improved in order to also represent migrants in 3.75th generation;
thus, the older variables on migrational background [p400500_g1,p400500_g2,p400500_g3] in the pParent dataset have been renamed using
the "v1" suffix [p400500_g1v1,p400500_g2v1,p400500_g3v1], and the new ones have been introduced
xDirectMeasures:
- For 49 observations (27 from wave 1 and 22 from wave 2), no information in xDirectMeasures is available;
in version 2.0.0, these cases had been coded 0 in all competency variables and
therefore remained in dataset xDirectMeasures; starting from version 3.0.0, these cases have
consequently been erased from xDirectMeasures.
- For wave 3, parent-child-interaction had been measured (again), but will not be published within this release.
The parent-child-interaction-data will be likely available with release 4.0.0.
===================================================
* Changes introduced to NEPS:SC1 by version 2.0.0 *
===================================================
General:
- translation for all meta data (variable and value labels, question texts, etc) have been revised and completed
- meta data for all variables have been revised and updated where appropriate
- additional wave 2 has been incorporated into the data
pParent:
- the variable set containing information from the multiple-response question "Birth complications" had been erroneously
named [p529101] through [p529106] in version 1.0.0; this conflicts to other variable names in NEPS Starting Cohorts 2 and 3;
the battery has been renamed to [p529110] through [p529115]
